Country music star Brad Paisley will headline a free concert to wrap up the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the NFL announced this week.
Concert Set for Final Day of Draft
Paisley is scheduled to perform on Saturday, April 26, following the conclusion of the seventh and final round of the draft. The concert will take place on the main draft stage near Lambeau Field and is open to the public at no cost.
Fans hoping to catch the show are advised to arrive early, as space will be standing room only and filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
Paisley: “It’s Where It All Begins”
A longtime football fan, Paisley expressed his excitement in a statement released by the NFL:
“There’s nothing like football to bring people together, and the NFL Draft is where it all begins. As a lifelong fan, I can’t wait to help close out an unforgettable weekend with a little music and one heck of a party.”
The concert is part of the NFL Draft Concert Series presented by Bud Light, which has become a regular feature of the league’s annual draft festivities.
Weekend Packed with Entertainment
In addition to Paisley’s performance, the city of Green Bay is offering more live music as part of the celebration. The Draft City Music Fest kicks off Saturday at 5 p.m. in Leicht Park along the Fox River, featuring performances by GZA, J Roddy Walston, Rebelmatic, and Hang Ten.
On Friday night, April 25, a spectacular drone show will light up the skies above Green Bay. Over 500 drones will perform a synchronized light display to honor the legacy of Titletown and the NFL Draft’s rich history. The drone show will follow the conclusion of rounds two and three of the draft.
A Star-Studded Draft Tradition
The NFL Draft Concert Series has featured major artists in recent years, including Marshmello, Ice Cube, Fall Out Boy, and Kings of Leon. This year, the NFL’s Director of Global Event Presentation and Entertainment, Tim Tubito, said Paisley was the perfect choice to close out the event.
“Brad understands how football brings people together,” Tubito said. “His performance is our way of saying thank you to the fans, the prospects, and the city of Green Bay—and the perfect way to end a weekend full of unforgettable moments.”
What’s Next for Paisley?
After his performance at the NFL Draft, Paisley will hit the road again with his Truck Still Works World Tour, set to kick off on May 21.
The 2025 NFL Draft runs from April 24–26, with live coverage across NFL Network, NFL+, ABC, ESPN, and more.
